Kia EV5 Electric SUV Drops Under $50K Drive-Away in Australia ⚡
Electric SUV buyers have a major new reason to take notice, with the Kia EV5 Air Standard Range now available for under $50,000 drive-away in Australia.
For a limited time, Kia is offering 2025-built Kia EV5 Air Standard Range models for just $49,990 drive-away (or $50,990 in WA), making it one of the most affordable mid-size electric SUVs on the market — and a serious rival to the Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion 7.
This sharp new pricing is available until 28 February 2026, unless extended, and applies while 2025 stock lasts.
Local buyers can explore this offer now at Tynan Kia Sutherland.
A Huge Price Drop for Kia’s Popular Electric SUV
The Kia EV5 Air Standard Range normally retails for $56,770 before on-road costs, meaning this deal represents a saving of more than $6,000 — and well over $10,000 cheaper than the drive-away price of a Tesla Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive.
Even compared to other value-focused EVs, the EV5 now stands out:
- Over $10,000 less than Tesla Model Y RWD (drive-away)
- Undercuts the BYD Sealion 7 Premium, even with its current on-road offer
For families and commuters looking to move into an electric SUV without breaking the $50K barrier, this is a significant moment.
